Official Other Teams to Root For Thread (P. 29)

I don't see Griffin chucking. I see him furious at Green and O'neal! I see him getting jumped!

Wow the Mavs got robbed badly. Conley scored on a travel. They have literally no chance against the Spurs. Will get swept even. Then again I don't think the Griz would fare much better and their physicality would probably give the Thunder more problems. However, the Mavs have played pretty well against the THunder this season too so I dunno and the Spurs did sweep the Griz last season so I am not sure if they would give the Spurs trouble either.

Go mavs! Might make me feel a little better.

This just shows two things.

The clippers are not "chooking" they lost a game that was tied in the last few seconds to an evenly matched team.

This season in the west there is a small separation between 1 and 8. All four series will go 6/7, be close and feel like second round/WCF series.

Parker being the anti-CP3 in the playoffs, making clutch plays when his team needs them instead of bricking FT's and getting swatted.

Respect is earned in the playoffs. It pisses me off to see other teams' point guards stepping up and winning games while CP3 chokes again.

You are saying that 28 8 and 7 isn't stepping up. Your other guards and small forward besdies JJ combined 5 for 30 and we still had a shot to win isn't stepping up?

Yup, nba is a team game, and the others have to be accountable as well. That's not asking much if they could just play average.. 5-30 is a joke. We could have put d leaguers in there and even they might not shoot that badly. If you are going to blame cp3 for this choke loss, then for any of our wins he gets most of the credit. Can't have it both ways. Need to be consistent.

Blazers look pretty good. I'm actually glad we got GSW instead. Not only do we get the fun rivalry, but I think the Blazers are basically the same team except they actually have a big and they are a beast on the boards. Yeah Curry & Klay are better shooters but Lillard, Mo, Batum, and Wes are nothing to slouch at and we'd have to guard them just the same.

Harden is seriously a joke. It's almost annoying how little effort he gives on the defensive end. He fuels all the people that hate the NBA and think it's a "no defense, no fundamentals league." Couldn't imagine rooting for that guy.

Huge CP3 fan since his Wake Forest days. Still can't ignore his lackluster playoff resume until he changes it by making a deep playoff run.

Um, I actually made excuses for him every year up until this year. Bottom line is, he has the team and coach he wanted, he has his max money - the excuses are over, he needs to get it done now. I'm a fan, not a homer.

The real Blazers have made an appearance in this quarter. They aren't a particularly deep team and rely too much on the jump shot, including Aldridge. Their defensive system is questionable. I'd rather have played them than GSW.

These aren't the real Blazers, since a team that is this cold would never win 50+ games. The real Blazers are somewhere in between, but they are basically the same team as GSW (without Bogut) except they have more size and likely a much better coach who isn't as annoying to look at. I'll stick with GSW.

Honestly, I think the Spurs would easily handle the mentally-weak Rockets come playoff time in spite of how the regular season series went. At least Portland always seems to have fluky shooting nights in San Antonio. It's not a huge deal to me, I just can't stand Harden or Dwight so it's hard to root for Houston.

I think the Rockets have a way better chance of taking out the Spurs than we do so I am a Rockets fan for two series.

Well obviously not a 50ppg every game good, but he is really amazing because he can literally get a 45%+ shot off on anyone anytime he wants. His turnaround is like a slightly worse version of Kareem's skyhook.

Well, you got what you wanted but when this series goes 7 and it ends up being a worn out Blazers vs a well-rested Spurs (fresh off a sweep to Dallas), you might be rethinking that. That's assuming we get by GSW and OKC though, which I do believe we will.

I hope the bitch-ass Rockets get swept. They're a disgrace to the game of basketball. They literally play for the foul all game, every game. CP3 flops, but at least we actually try to score legitimately.

Neither one of these teams has a prayer against the Spurs next round, so I'm just going to root for the more likeable team, and it isn't Houston.
